This Halo review also earns the Master Chief's stamp of approval.  

I love how you added all that backstory about Halo, it really brought back some old memories     .

Great Job .

i d'ont know how to say it but let me say  it like this : <<F***ing good review!!!!!!!>>

[DuDeR MaN]

um... thanks I guess.  It brought back old memories.. it's only been out for 2 years.. that is't a long time lol.

newguy.. thats the best compliment I've gotten yet! lol thanks man


Also I'd just like to say that I'm getting a little pissed off from all these new halo reviews... not because they are there.. hell some of them are worded better than me but the thing that pisses me off is mostly everyone is copying and pasting some of my information that I went and looked up.  They don't even reword it to make it sound the slightest bit different.  OK, I feel better getting that off my chest.

Are you guys absolutely sure Halo is the best game since ever on Xbox? Personally I found after a few levels extremely repetitive and unimaginative (plus the story seemed kind of stupid). And they cut a few corners at the last levels, re-using the old levels. The graphics and sounds are awesome, though.

Of course it is.  Alot of people including my self bought an Xbox because of Halo.  It is definitely one of the greats!  I still play it today after 2yrs and when my friends come over they only want to play Halo.

Beside the fact that the 1player campaign was excellent.  The multiplayer was just as good.  Even if the game was sold only as a multiplayer game alone, it would have been a hit.

They released Halo for the PC now and it's getting rave reviews.  It is one of the top selling PC games right now according to EB Games Top Ten, which squashes all the nah sayers predictions of Halo being a mediocre game for the PC.

HA HA HA!  Originally Halo was announced on PC and then went to xbox and everyone said it would be horrible ona game system.  They were wrong.  Then they say porting it to the PC will be horrible and won't be good.  They were wrong.  Now I here people saying Halo 2 will not live up to the original.. only time will tell.

XBOX SYSTEM LINK: Up to 16 players with 4 Xbox's: only for Deathmatch

Only for deathmatch? Have you even PLAYED this game?
You can play any mode with system link, not just deathmatch. Research, then review.

 

[DuDeR MaN]

*sigh*

I already covered this man.  First off there is no research necessary.. I've owned the game for 2 years and played it to it's fullest (legendary single, legendary co-op, 4 person split screen, 16 player system link, online via xbconnect, halo trainer, warthog launching, etc.)

now to explain to you.. when I say deathmatch I meant the split-screen do people would know you can not play co-op over system link, people keep getting confused so fine I'll edit the top post.  Sorry for the misunderstanding

[DuDeR MaN]

updated some of the links... I guess it's time for me to leave this review alone and work on another

I believe there are plenty of great games for xbox but most of the better ones get little to no hype so people don't hear about them.

graphically... it's hard to say... still the best fps graphics seen to date but graphics alone I think were surpassed with splinter cell, I still can't get over how smoothe everything is and the lighting... though halo is 10x sharper with ti's texture so it's a tough match,

I'm not saying that there are not any other great games for the xbox; morrowind, kotor, doa3, splintercell, rallysportand to name a few.  I'm just saying that halo ownes them all, hand down imo.

While splinter cell had great graphics, i was not as impressed with it as i was with halo's.  The overall lighing in splintercell was amazing, but the textures up close looked like shit, and the realtime shadows, that were cast on the walls, were jaggier than hell.  The light cast from the flash lights, held by the marines and master C, look much better and more realistic than any of the lighing in splintercell.  With halo's flashlight light, it bloomed out and disappates realistically along the borders.  In splintercell, the lighting cast a perfect unrealistic border.
